Expedition: general discussions.

On the other hand, even the small snippets of text that I provided for reading were read by two people, so maybe it was a dead idea from the very beginning.

No, you had walls of text, I had snippets. It seems Arandor was also complaining that there was too little to read.
When I was reading Salvatore's "The Outcast," it seemed to me that your texts were much better written. But here, it's probably a matter of translation. Overall, they are decent texts.
